RDA/ Velocity

% Used/ .4

Coil/ Clapton W/ 45

Steep Time/2 weeks Wicking/ Full

PG/VG 50/50 Nic% 0

Mouth Feel - Moderately dense on the palate and light on the nose. I would rate its density at about 5 out of 10. Slight throat hit 4 out of 10.

Flavor Properties- Nice smooth vanilla not extremely prevalent, but still noticeable in combination with a buttery and sweet cream base.

Relatable Flavors - Remind me of adding a small amount of vanilla to buttermilk.

Off Flavors - The slightly musky note to the vanilla.

Position In The Recipe - Given its light density I believe this would work well in a base, or as an accent for other creams doesn't quite have the punch to be a top note.

Pairings - The musk note of the vanilla makes me think of tobacco first. I believe it would also pair well with creams, berries, chocolates, and most bakeries.

Do you not get that over churned cream taste from this one? I taste it in all the HS creams when I get above 0.25%.

Slightly musky vanilla. I get where you're coming from with the over churned butter I was looking for it and didn't find it, but it did remind me of really thick buttermilk. I don't know if you've ever had to drink straight buttermilk it's kind of gross. I'm not even sure you can over churned butter. I'll keep looking for this flavor in HS creams

Butter milk is a very accurate description of the flavor in trying to describe!

I'll have to go back to this flavor and try it again.

Yes since I can't get ice cream I did have to use this as a sub in your cookies and cream recipe. Turned out really good.

I thought maybe we were just describing the same flavor in slightly different ways!!
